I have a collection of hacked-together tools that I use to test most of
the various interfaces of printk. I would need to clean them up if they
should be used for any kind of automated regression testing.

And where should I make such things available? I could put them in a
repo in the Linutronix github account (like I did for the ringbuffer
stress testing tool). (??)
